MACON, Ga, Dec. 2S.-Secretary Lamar's
visit at this time has been a~tsubject or much
comment in connection with the report Of his
intention Of marrying his old-time love, Mrs.
Gen. Holt. When Secretary Lamar came

Holt when both were young. He succeeded,
and they would doubtless have been married
some months ago had 1t not been for tbs OPP
p~o.ition Of Der two daughters. They Gid not
wish their mother TO marry again. They did
not object to Secretary Lamar, but they were
proud of the name their mother bore and
they did not wish TO change II. Despite Sec
retary Lamar's opportunities Mrs. Holt yield
ed TO the protests Of her daughters. The sec
rotary returned, prosecuted his suit by letter,
and at the same time sought TO remove the
objections urged by Mrs. Hollis daughters.

Secretary Lamar which renewed his hopes.
He Immediately made preparations to visit

is to induce sleep. by calling the blood

A Host OF Patriots.

CHICAGO, Jan. Probably not . single
member Of either branch Of the legislature
had the remotcst idea a week ago that he
would be called upon inside Of a month to
participate In the election Of a successor TO
the lamented pet and pride of Illinois, and
the result is that while nearly every man Is
unpledged candidates are as thick as snow
fakes. n Chicago the name OF Charles b.
Farwell was the first to be preached, and
from the start his friends began to manifest
activity in his behalf. This was quickly fol-
lowed by movements in favor Of Robert
T.. Lincoln aud Ex-Governor John
NJ, Hamilton and the friends Of these
two aspirants are buslly laying wires. Adj
vices from the interior Of the state indicate
that all these gentlemen are generally regard
ed with favor as being acceptable, but the
same adyices develop the fact that every Sec
tlon has its man whom it believes TO be better
qualified and better entitled to the position
than any other. At Bloomington the praises
OF Payson and ex-senator Filter are being
heralded, around Peoria and Galesburg the
talk is divided between Generals Henderson
and Clark T.. Carr. Monmouth favors Major
r. w. McClaughey, warden of Joliet %peniten-
tiary, with Jehu Baker as second choice. 9th
er sections are waxing enthusiastic In sup
port OF Governor Oglesby, Milton Hay, Of
Springfield, Isaac l.. Morrison, OF Jackson
vile, Congressman Cannon, General
John j. Rinaker, OF Carlinville, Hon.
II. G. Burchard and Judge
Joseph II. Bailey, of Freeport. This is the
eutire list Of candidates mentioned to date,
and all will receive more or less support In
the Republican caucus. The contest, now
ever is likely to narrow down to Farwell,
Henderson, Lincoln aud Hamilton in the
order named. The Legislature meets on We'd
nesday next. So far there Is no talk among
the Democracy as 10 the member Of that party
which should receive it's complimentary vote,

i'm Cummings Behind the Bars.

ST. Louis, Jan. 3.-The Adams express
company robbers are at last beginning TO turn
up in this city. Tiis morning Robert Pinker-
ton and Superintendent Damsel OF the Adams
express company, having IN charge Fred
Wittroek, arrived from Kansas City, and AS
sistant ST. erintendent Robins, OF the Pinker-
ton agency, brought the accomplice Weaver
from Chicago. 1t was pretty well known that
Pinkerton was on his way TO this city with
Wittrock, and when the train arrived there
was a large crowd at the station anxious to
catch a glimpse of the famous 'Jim Cum
mings," Pinkerton aided his prisoner from
the car and, followed by Damsel, they entered
a carriage and were driven rapidly to the Four
Courts, where the prisoner was delivered over
10 the jailor, who took him in charge, and
'Jim Cummings" was at last placed behind
the bars. As soon as the prisoners were re-
leased from the clutches OF the Pinkertons 1t
became possible to obtain interviews from
them. Neither had much to say. Wittrock
said he and Haight planned the robbery aud
all the stories about Mrs. Haight having lone
headwOrk were mere talk and nothing more.
Fothcringham had known nothing about the
contemplated robbery and had suspected
nothing wrong,

ADMISSION AND THE RESERVATION.

=
Viewing the situation from light
house tower of the ADVERTISER, ii ar-
pears that the efforts being made on be-
half Of division and admission were a
loss Of time, waste Of money and ex-
haustion OF energy at the present period.
The territory will not be admitted as a
whole or in halves until after 1888, and
the leaders of the cause are, metaphor
cally speaking, battering their brains
out against stone wall in attempting to
secure admission at the coming session
of congress. The present administration
faint built that way yon know. The
people OF the Hills and the river coun-
ties are more interested in the opening
of the Sioux reservation than they are in
division and admission. They have
more show for success. From the fact
that some half dozen railroads want to
cross the great reserve strengthens the
belief that more influence will be
brought to bear upon congress this win
ter than at any previous session to re-
move this great barrier to the building
of competing railway lines through the
territory. Let the Black Hills encour-
age these several railway corporations to
labor assidiously for the opening of the
reservation, and the desired end will be
attained before the s'roses bloom again.

UNITED WE STAND. !"

The result of concerted action has
been forcibly demonstrated in the matter
of having Sturgis designated as the
transfer point for the freight for Dead
wood, Lead and other towns located in
the gulches. By soliciting the assist
ance of the business men in the Hills to
aid in accomplishing this end, the claims
OF Sturgis for transshipping station
were SO favorably and strongly laid be-
fore the railway people that they gave
the subject immediate attention, and the
result is that today the railroad COM
pany is putting up a large freight and
passenger depot and the overland trans
portation companies are rebuilding their
warehouses here. We are largely in
debted to the Deadwood people for this
pleasant situation, which practically and
clearly proves that they are our friends
and are ever ready to join hands with
the citizens of Sturgis in all movements
for the common good Of the country.
Now that it is concltsively shown that the
people of Deadwood and sturgis are on
friendly terms, that amiable feeling
should be cultivated and perpetuated.

in and adheres to tho motto that

the following extract from an interview
had with Mr. J. X. p. Miller, who Just
returned from the east:
1.-THE subject first preached railroads
received considerable attention from
Mr.. Miller during his absence, and much
valuable information was gathered. To
begin with, no less than six lines are
projected to or through the Hills, to-
wit: Northwestern, Milwaukee, Manito-
ba, B. & NJ, Northern Pacific and a line
to extend from Miles City to point in
Texas The latter is as yet defined on
paper only, and is scarcely worthy con-
sideration. The Northern Pacific CON
templates a line from Jamestown or vi
entity, in southwestern direction with
the Hills as an objective point. The 3.
& NJ will cross the Elkhorn at Valen-
tine ana take bee line for Rapid. The

servation wien it will cross the Mis-

directly to the Hills, while The North

noticed that realty in Sturgis was selling
at very moderate figure, considering
the substantial and permanent growth of
the town, combined with its fattering
future. The gentleman was right.
Property is low in Sturgis, and it is con-
